Port Channel Commands
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they
were a single link according to IEEE 802.3ad. In FTOS, a LAG is referred to as a Port
Channel.
Table 22-10. Port Channel Limits
Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must
have at least one port, some of those nominally available Port Channels might have no
function because they could have no members if there are not enough ports installed. In the
S-Series, those ports could be provided by stack members.
The commands in this section are specific to Port Channel interfaces:
• channel-member
• group
• interface port-channel
• minimum-links
• port-channel failover-group
• show config
• show interfaces port-channel
• show port-channel-flow

Note: The FTOS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure
a LAG on both switches manually. For information on FTOS Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP).
For more information on configuring and using Port Channels, refer to the FTOS
Configuration Guide.
